Alas, with a lot of advantages, table lamps with lampshade also have negative sides. Such models of luminaires cannot be called compact: they often need a lot of space for placement.

These products have limited ability to control the luminous flux:

• they have no hinges on the leg, providing the change of the angle of inclination of the ceiling;
• In such models, it is impossible to vary the height of the legs, creating the most convenient lighting of the working area (you have to move the lamp or, if necessary, invent the appropriate stylish supports for it);
• for maximum illumination, one has to take care of the “correct” material of the lampshade, otherwise the luminous flux will be weak and sharply designate the working surface, which is harmful for the eyes in a room with a minimum of light.

Table lamps with lampshade are multifaceted, they are remarkable for a mass of varieties that differ in design, type of light source, method of feeding.
